The year’s theme has programme content based on music for families, about families, by families and families of instruments.

The theme music of Auld Lang Syne is an appropriate connecting thread with its powerful words.

The March concerts programme includes Arturo Marquez’s Danzon no. 2 - perhaps unfamiliar by name but known to many by its lively and happy sounds, Dances from Benjamin Britten’s Gloriana, string music by Walton from Henry V, a windband performance of The Duke of Cambridge’s March by Malcolm Arnold and two movements of Mozart’s 3rd horn concerto to be played by Sam Duzinkewycz on tenor horn.

Sam recently won the Young Musician 2020 class at the Fife Festival of Music.

Flutes, Cupar Beginners Brass, Fife Ukulele Orchestra and the Regimental Band of the Black Watch ACF.
